ABSTRACT
Background. Previous reports have indicated that ketamine anesthesia may produce significant improvement if not complete recovery of patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
*edit*
Conclusion. Future studies of brain function in these patients may provide novel insight into brain plasticity in response to this treatment for chronic pain.

They have also seen this reversal in people who have recovered using mirror therapy, ECT, and PT. They have even seen this reversal in people with phantom limb pain.
